playGround Festival 2026

playGround Festival is York’s annual student-run theatre festival dedicated to giving emerging artists within the York community the opportunity to conceptualize, develop, and present new and original work. For 34 years, the playGround Festival has served as a creative outlet for hundreds of participants to take on all the roles that go into organizing the event, while receiving hands-on experience in the process. Students take on roles as playwrights, dramaturgs, actors, designers, crew and stage managers.
